Rising Star 23

West Virginia’s oldest convention, Rising Star, returns for another year. October Friday 24th and Saturday 25th at the Bluefield State College (BSC) in Bluefield. This will be Rising Star 23 and the theme for the year is Kaiju and celebrating the birthday of Godzilla.

Programming will include game demos, discussion panels, board gaming, anime viewing room, video gaming, dealers and artists, photo ops, costume contest, concert, charity auction, concessions, brony meet up, Werewolf games, workshops, and just generally hanging out with some of the old guard. I will be running a game show on Saturday, so come check out Geek On to see who the biggest nerd is. The charity auction on Saturday will raise money to establish the Johnny Miller and David Craig Memorial Scholarships.

A pass is only $5 at the door for both days. BSC students, faculty, and staff get in free though.

Fans who like small events and many different fandoms will want to come check this out.
